Inspired by the winged sandals of Hermes, the Talaria Head Knife brings that same mythic blend of speed and sure-footed control into a larger, full-format leatherworker’s blade. Where the Talaria Petite dances through detail work, this broader version carves with the confident sweep of a seasoned artisan, delivering long, fluid cuts.
Forged from premium high-carbon 15N20 steel, each Talaria Head Knife features a broad, gracefully arched blade available in 3.5”, 4”, or 4.5” widths. This expanded profile brings power without bulk, letting you glide through thick leather, bevel off large sections, or break down hides with effortless momentum. The 3/32” tapered tang preserves the Talaria philosophy: light enough for responsive handling, stout enough for years of dependable use.
Every Talaria Head Knife begins with a beautifully crafted handle of the customer’s choosing. With hundreds of wood and burl blocks in stock—from classic American hardwoods to richly figured exotics—you can tailor your knife to match your hand, your shop, and your style. Want something rare or symbolic? For an additional cost, we can source specialized or out-of-stock woods, ensuring your Talaria is truly one of a kind.
The sculpted, teardrop-forward handle geometry settles naturally into the palm, offering intuitive balance and exceptional control. Whether you choke up for tight detail work or lean back for sweeping utility cuts, the knife responds like an extension of your intent.
A head knife is the beating heart of a leather shop, and the Talaria is crafted to honor that legacy. Commanding, responsive, and shaped with the same artisan spirit that guided the old masters, this blade delivers both the broad strokes and the graceful precision of Hermes’ own flight.
Each Talaria Head Knife can be paired (for an additional cost) with a custom snap-on blade mask, tailored to protect its broad edge between projects.
Whether you’re trimming, skiving, patterning, or breaking down full sides, the Talaria Head Knife is built to move with you — swift, steady, and unmistakably divine.
